Green means... stop?

We're all trying to be
a little more green these days, but this is ridiculous.

And it's a joke, Upper Arlington officials say.

A green stop sign at Pinebrook and Haverford roads stopped some people in their tracks
this morning -- but not in a dangerous way, thank goodness.

Public Service Administrator Buddy Caplinger said the switch appears to have been
a high-school prank. And it took some work, too, he said. A red sign at the corner was removed
-- they're riveted to their posts -- and the green one matched in all but color. It also
was missing a sticker on the back that marks it as official government property.

The city service department received a number of calls about the green sign this morning.
